If a sentence contains more than one clause, isolate the clauses so that you can decide which pronoun is correct.

Examples:

Weak

Strong

[Althoughsheishungry,]

[shewill givehim some of her food.]

[Although thisgiftisfor him,]

[Iwould likeyou to have it too.]

Rule 5

To decide whether to use the subject or object pronoun after the wordsthanoras, mentally complete the sentence.

Examples:Tranh is as smart as she/her.
If we mentally complete the sentence, we would say, "Tranh is as smart as she is." Therefore,sheis the correct answer.

Zoe is taller thanI/me.
Mentally completing the sentence, we have, "Zoe is taller than I am."

Daniel would rather talk to her than I/me.
We can mentally complete this sentence in two ways: "Daniel would rather talk to her than to me."OR"Daniel would rather talk to her than I would." As you can see, the meaning will change depending on the pronoun you choose.
